Hi, I am new in grasshopper and I cannot find a solution. I want to create a shape like this: [Torus%20Shape] The tutorials I have found only use 1 circle for the prep frames. I want to create one shape (just like the image above) that runs through the 2 green circles: [circles] I thought abou…

IMO, you don’t have to use two rails for this. You’ll need pufferfish and Mesh+ plugin to make this definition works. [Canvas%20at%2000%3B50%3B11] torus shape_re.gh (21.1 KB)

Sorry, here is the rhino file that contains the curve. Curve for Pipe.3dm (32.7 KB)

You could use mesh fattener and an attractor point (or non) instead of dendro. [190902_Pipe_re] 190902_Pipe_re.gh (24.6 KB)

Thanks for your help! Just to confirm the name of the plugin you used is called ‘Flattener’ for the two components that are missing here? [flattener%202]
